Lewis Upshur Animal Control Facility is located in Upshur County and is an animal welfare organization that serves the needs of two (2) counties, Lewis and Upshur. We are a rural facility that has limited means to serve the duty that we are called to do for this area. We are committed to finding homes for as many animals as possible - and have found tremendous success with our website.
Adoption Fee: Dogs $150.00-Cats $85.00
All dogs and cats will be spayed/neutered prior to leaving the facility unless the adopter currently resides outside of West Virginia. Adopters residing outside of West Virginia will receive a $50.00 refund, via mail, once proof is submitted to the shelter that the animal has been spayed/neutered. Owner claimed dogs are $30.00 if claimed within five days, unless your dog is brought in three times in one year then the owner claim fee will be $50.00 after 5 days it is $70.00.
The West Virginia Legislature passed a bill (state law) which became effective on July 7, 2005 that all animals adopted from a shelter in West Virginia will have to be spayed or neutered. *
All dogs and cats are wormed and vaccinated with a DHPP/PCT vaccination before leaving the facility.
